MACRA

The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 ("MACRA") created a new Quality Payment Program (QPP) that is transforming how providers are paid.

MACRA is a separate piece of legislation from the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare. Unlike the ACA, MACRA passed with wide bipartisan support. Although some components of these laws are intertwined, major changes to the ACA under the new administration will not eliminate MACRA.
